Bob is training for a race. Bob ran 14.6 miles away from his home. Then, Bob ran 9.8 miles towards his home. Finally, Bob ran 5.3 miles away from his home. How far is Bob from his home?
14.6-9.8=4.8 miles
9.8-5.3=4.5 miles from his home
Is this right
sorry, read 14 and it is 14.6
9.5 + .6 = 10.1
No, that is not correct. Let's go through the steps together to find the correct answer.
First, Bob ran 14.6 miles away from his home. This means his distance from home increased by 14.6 miles.
Next, Bob ran 9.8 miles towards his home. This means his distance from home decreased by 9.8 miles.
Finally, Bob ran 5.3 miles away from his home, which means his distance from home increased by 5.3 miles.
To find the total distance from home, we need to add up the changes in distance.
Change in distance from home = (Increase in distance) - (Decrease in distance)
= (14.6 miles) - (9.8 miles) + (5.3 miles)
= 14.6 - 9.8 + 5.3
= 9.8 + 5.3
= 15.1 miles
Therefore, Bob is 15.1 miles away from his home.
14.6-9.8=4.8
4.8 +5.3= 10.1 miles away from home
14 - 9.8 + 5.3 = 9.5
say
14 north
9.8 south
5.3 north
total north= 14 + 5.3 - 9.8 = 9.5
